Good afternoon!

I'm new to this site so I have not had time to really search around, but I was recently given a Model 72A .22 by my grandfather that was one of his first rifles. We both still use on it on a regular basis, but for his birthday I would like to do some modifications to it.

Does anyone know what scopes may be ideal for the rifle?

Thanks!

P.S. Will post pics soon.

Scopes for what purpose...Hunting...Target...Long Distance !?

Was the rifle scoped before...Is it drilled and tapped...?!

It has not had any drilling or taping done to it.

Understood....

Hi, 72a is a nice 22..

If it doesnt have scope grooves on the rcvr it was made before 1954. Early 72's that dont have any modifications have a little more value but thats relative. A vintage scope would look nice but advancements have made even new scopes so much better. Take it to a gunsmith, have him put weaver blocks on the fcvr and get a nice leupold or burris - 3x9 or 2x7.
